It's not just that he's entitled to his opinion, his opinion can be just as valid as a musicians. while I do disagree with him(Hendix has never been a favorite, but he's an amazing player and a good songwriter), Saying that a lack of musical knowledge invalidates his ability to make a reasonable and cogent argument about a piece of music or a musician is so to miss the point of music altogether.
